Takanori Gomi defeated DREAM Lightweight GP Quarterfinalist Katsuhiko Nagata via points (1-0) in the finals of the All-Japan Combat Wrestling Open Championships (think of Combat Wrestling as MMA without any strikes) 73 kg class yesterday.
It is quite impressive by Gomi as Nagata is an Olympic silver medalist in Greco-Roman Wrestling and Gomi got the point with a single leg takedown (even though that isn’t a technique in the Greco-Roman style).
